Urinary Sodium Excretion and Obesity Markers among Bangladeshi Adult Population: Pooled Data from Three Cohort Studies.

ABSTRACT: We evaluated the relationship of urinary sodium excretion with a conditional mean, 10th and 90th percentiles of body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference among 10,034 person-visits of Bangladeshi population. We fitted linear mixed models with participant-level random intercept and restricted maximum likelihood estimation for conditional mean models; and quantile mixed-effect models with participant-level random intercept and Laplace estimation for 10th and 90th percentiles models. For each 100 mmol/24 h increase in urinary sodium excretion, participants had a 0.10 kg/m² (95% CI: 0.00, 0.10) increase in the mean; a 0.39 kg/m² (95% CI: 0.23, 0.54) increase in the 10th percentile; and a 0.59 kg/m² (95% CI: 0.39, 0.78) increase in the 90th percentile of BM
